Not bad for a noted between-period smoker!

Sorry for going off-topic, but any chance you could list some of the more prominent smokers (known and or strongly suspected of) in modern league history? Just curious.

Can't really prove in-game smoking, that seems to be an extreme rarity...it's also banned contractually.

Miikka Kiprusoff and Dion PhaneufObviously Mario, which stopped a bit when Gretzky got a hold of him in the 1987 Canada Cup and told him to wake the **** up, you're a star!I've heard a lot of Russians did/do: Daniil Markov (in fact, it was rumored he would sometimes drink during games), Nikolai Khabibulin, Alexander Mogilny, Andrei Kovalenko, Alexei Zhamnov was a noted smoker...Denis Savard and Guy Lafleur did I believe (I think Le Gros Bill mentions that Lafleur smoked between periods sometimes)Bryan McCabe seemed like he was always going through a mid-life crisis late in his career, I'm pretty sure I saw him smoking after a game once...Al Iafrate could smoke between shifts!Didn't Ryan Malone smoke while he was here?

Pretty much ever Swede dips, and therefore everyone on the 2004 Vancouver Canucks did too...
